Abstract | Using a feminist geography framework, this qualitative study explores the first-year postsecondary experiences of Appalachian women through an interrogation of the ways in which they construct place and gender through their transition between two distinct geographic places: the home community and the university. A diversity of gender and place constructions, including: experiencing loss of home place identities; hiding Appalachian place identities; and resisting stereotypes about Appalachia-as-place. Further, some participants engaged in acts of affirmation or resistance to perceived dominant home community or University gender norms, while others actively resisted perceived dominant gender norms from both geographic places. (As Provided). |
